Well AFAIK the basic requirement to use it with a non xiaomi phone is Android 4.3+ and Bluetooth LE.
Moto G has both so i was thinking of getting it!
If anyone has used it with Moto g or any other phone please revert back!

It works perfectly with my Moto G 2-nd gen / Android 5.
- mi band app is working, alarm, tracking
- call notifications are working
- smart lock is working as well
-- Best
Does it work with 2013 gen. too? Thanks.
Hi there,
I'm a little bit late but it might help somebody…
Just got the Mi Band (firmware v1.0.9.23) with a Moto G LTE 2014 (stock ROM, 4.4.4). I use the English tweaked version of the Mi Fit app (v1.3.912). Everything seems to be working (activity tracker, vibrate on phone call, sleep tracker and smart alarm clock and notifications).
I don't have the smartlock feature itself (since my phone runs on Kit-Kat) but Motorola has implemented a feature which seems to be equivalent: Trusted Devices (under the Security section of the parameters). It prevents the phone from locking as long as it's paired with a Bluetooth device.
There is a trick to get it to work with the Mi Band though. Once paired with your phone through the Mi Fit, your phone won't be able to see the Mi Band as a Bluetooth device. Open the Mi Fit app, go to Profile → Additional features → BLE Broadcast and turn it on. Now your phone can see the Mi Band as a Bluetooth device and you can set it up as a Trusted Device.
Hope this helps! ^^

I'm curious too. I currently own a MiBand and everything works fine.
I think we'll have to wait for Android L which supports Bluetooth LE unlocking.
Currently, it works with a Tasker profile, though it's often a bit slow and can take up to 5-10 minutes untill it realises that the Miband is there / not there. On the other hand, if it's security you're thinking about, it may be a solution.

I got mine from ibuygou and paid 30$ for it. Though there are other major Chinese sites that sell it (like Banggood, ...)

For now there's no solution for truly proximity-unlock as in MIUI.
But for other phones only near solution is Xposed-module No Lock Home (all other apps non-functional for reasons).
It will to enable secure lock-screen if no connection with bracelet e.g. you lost phone = distance over 10 meters.
When Mi Band connected in module settings once tap "plus" icon > Bluetooth (MAC address)
This will fill MAC-address in field below and auto-locking will work.
Experiment with other settings too and don't forget to donate to author of module.
Maybe sometime he will add unlocking based on signal strength from band as in MIUI: I posted feature-request.
Did no lock home work for you? I thought it didn't support bluetooth le?
Currently i'm using tasker profile but it's sloooooow
Will this work if we use MIUI ROM?

I have tested the steps written here. it works
http://en.miui.com/thread-70696-1-1.html
Does anyone have this combo to confirm it works or doesn't?
I have the 8GB Moto G (2015) and an Android Auto headunit, which was working great with a Nexus 5 until that phone died. When I plug in the Moto G, I get a message saying that the device is not compatible. Having a hard time believing that since it is a new phone running Android 5.1.1 and is pretty close to stock Android.
You can try spoofing the reported device by editing the build.prop.
ro.build.version.release = The build of android the device is running on.
ro.product.model = The device model name.
ro.product.brand = The brand that makes the device. (CAUTION: MUST BE IN ALL LOWERCASE LETTERS)
Try changing them to the same thing a Nexus 5 reports.
Google has just posted a new known issue for Android Auto on their support page:
Android Auto doesn't start on the Moto G. We're working with Motorola on a solution.

Not sure if it was a Google Play Services or Android Auto update, but AA now works with my Moto G 3rd gen (2015). The phone processor/memory may not be up to the task though, it seems quite laggy compared to what I've experienced with the Nexus 5.
I am have installed the superlivepro app on my new moto g to monitor my cctv. However it will not connect and gives me timeout error messages. The cctv system is fine, I have followed the process and it works fine on a samsung. So the moto g must have a setting that is preventing connection - any ideas anyone?

Greetings and welcome to assist. Unfortunately this isn't something we would know much about, have you tried contacting the app developer for support ? they may have a better Idea. You could also try asking thr other moto g users here

to see if anyone has come across a similar issue
Good Luck

In Setting > Lock screen and Security > Smart Lock > Trusted devices > Add trusted Device ..... there is no option for NFC tag. Why is that? It only lets me add bluetooth device. I have NFC tag that I want to use to unlock, but I can't find that in Trusted devices.
Any hints?
Thanks
Still looking for a way to add NFC tag under SmartLock. It worked when I had Nexus 6P. What am doing differently with S8?
tasker + secure settings will do what you want.
Why can't I do it using SmartLock? This was available on Nexus 6P, and it is a standard Android feature. Is it a bug in Samsung S8 software?
Does everyone with stock S8+ have the same issue? Is there really no NFC tag option in Setting > Lock screen and Security > Smart Lock > Trusted devices > Add trusted Device ?
Before firmware update I can used this without problem but now I can't found this settings.
Well then this is a bug. How do we report it to Samsung? I need to unlock my phone when it's on NFC tag, without rooting my phone.
Got an update from Samsung last night, but this bug is still not fixed. No NFC option under SmartLock
It's not just Samsung bug. NFC Smart lock also disappeared on Lineage OS on my Nexus 5 and with out any system updates. I've read that it has to something with Google play services and it's missing from some other phones too.
I need the solution right now. It's very annoying[emoji58]

NFC Smart Unlock was also removed on the Google Pixel phones with a 7.1.2 update and is still gone in the 8.0.0 (Oreo) update I just installed now. It was likely removed because it was buggy and stopped working on some phones (like mine).

Recently, I flashed lineage OS on my Asus Zenfone 2 Z00A, there is no NFC option in Smart lock settings.
Please comment on this why it is not there?

Did you read the post above yours? It explains why. And this is S8+ forum, not Zenfone forum....
Googled removed it due to lack of use. If you have an old NFC tag paired, it'll still work, but no way to add new ones
This is pretty disappointing... I had looked into getting an NTAG216 chip encapsulated in glass implanted, with unlocking my phone as one of the possible novel uses of it, but I guess I can forget that!
I guess we need some tweaks to get back NFC Smart Lock feature, like Magisk, scripts type of method and all that by all means.
Is there somebody who knows how Google blocked it technically?Assuming the culprit must be Google Play Services, though, if so, we done...?

I think it isn't a bug... And it is not removed on purpose... I am running the latest Software for my Smasung S8+ (7.1.1) and I can still add NFC Tags. Under SMart Lock I go to trusted devices and then add NFC tag. I already have two NFC tags in there, so I dont know if this feature is still availible to me because I added one on Version 7.0 so maybe you had to add one earlier to still have this option unlocked which wouldnt make any sence tho... I suggest you try the app NFC Tools Pro and NFC Tasks (like tasker) which both work together very well and let you allow to unlock you phone with the tag.
Best regards
I have found a workaround, though it requires root and manually editing a preferences file.

Hi guys,
I am looking for a way to add / enable the smart lock functionality to the MIUI ROM (i use the weekly xiaomi.eu).
That functionality is there (i get the notification to enable smart unlock when pairing a new BT device), but it doesn't work.
Is there any way to do this with root? Perhaps a magisk module or a standalone app?
I spent a lot of time searching for it, without any luck.
Thank you!

do you have twrp?
i think this feature come with Gapps... since we have a fork of the current Gapps it will not be availible...
just to be shure.. youre talking about "Smart Unlock" that consists on body detection, bluetooth unlock wen connected to trusted devices, face unlock and voice unlock.
if you're interested on face unlock just change your region to India or Hong Kong.. on the security tab neard the finger print option will apper something like "add face data"
Note if your region is set to India you'll receive news about criket, your music app home screen will be set to some indian music service (it requires 2 clicks to go to the normal music library), your Mi video app will have the same behaviour and in the home screen there will be more Xiaomi related apps.
Hi, this is a standard in Android, but somehow, Xiaomi blocked it in MIUI.
I am using xiaomi.eu weekly rom, i already have face unlock without switching to India.
What i really care about is the ability to keep my phone unlocked while it is connected to my smartwatch and my car.
When i pair a new BT device i get the option to add is as a trusted device, but it doesn't work.
I really love the hardware, but i hate MIUI. Why do they want to re-invent the wheel? Anyway, this is the last time i buy a device with MIUI.
I tried Pixel Experience and Lineage OS, but they have some other problems. For example, if i use Android Auto, once i disconnect the phone, the screen starts to flicker really bad - i cannot use the phone until i reboot it.
So, i have to stick with MIUI......
Cheers!
My understanding, as things stand now (I'm a new guy to MiUi) is the following:
Aside from face unlock, smart unlock functions are essentially broken. Trusted Bluetooth devices only works with other MiUi devices. Current workaround for having your device unlock always in your car, for example, is to buy a mi band and leave it in the car.
As far as trusted voice unlock, I believe xiaomi.eu is waiting on a weekly global beta for mix 3 which they expect to have the required material included that they can poach to get this working on other sd845 devices like mix 2s.
Not sure I have all this right, so someone correct me if I don't....

Even with Mi Band as unlocking device, the function is not really reliable (at least not in my experience).
As often as not, it happens that the phone does not unlock, even with the band on the arm holding the phone.
Buying a band explicitly for that purpose will not satisfy you.
